Treatment of Polarized Cystic Fibrosis Airway Cells With HGF Prevents VX-661-Rescued F508del-CFTR Destabilization Caused by Prolonged Co-exposure to VX-770
Cystic fibrosis (CF), the most common inherited disease in Caucasians, is caused by mutations in CFTR, the most frequent of which is F508del. F508del causes ER retention and degradation of the mutant CFTR protein, but also defective channel gating and decreased half-life at the plasma membrane. Desp...
